We Bike For Our Kids
July 2, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
For those who love to bike, for those who love kids, and for those who want climate action: You’re all invited to join us for a family-friendly group bike ride!
We believe riding bikes is, first and foremost, fun! And it is an important part of climate action. But it can be intimidating for parents: how can I transport little kids, or big kids, where do I feel safe biking, how do I plan a route, what size bike does my kid need, does this helmet fit properly? That’s where meeting family bike friends can help! Come out and see a range of kid-toting bike options: child seats, trailers, long tails, bakfiets and ask any questions of the bike community
